moral: commit crime in WA, not CO

[lauralh]

After a long fight, KIRO Team 7 Investigators obtained painkiller distribution records for Washington’s eight biggest prisons. In three years, taxpayers fed at least 329,000 Oxycodone pills to inmates. Prisoners have wolfed down a minimum 85-thousand doses of morphine.

Add in narcotics like Percocet and Hydrocodone and taxpayers bought about 800,000 doses. The raw pills alone cost a half million dollars: distributing them cost millions more.

To give some comparison, KIRO Team 7 Investigators traveled to Colorado. The prison system there has roughly the same size inmate population as Washington, but this year Colorado prescribed zero doses of Morphine and Oxycodone to general population inmates.
